Cape Greco
About
This rocky peninsular is known for its rocky cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and stunning natural attractions, including the Blue Lagoon and the Lover’s Bridge. Pack your snorkels and search for fish and turtles in the sea caves. There are several hiking trails in the park, and climbing up to the top of the cliffs offers spectacular views. There’s something for everyone here—scuba diving tours, kayaking to the sea caves, and catamaran cruises from which you can soak in the views of the cliffs. Cape Greco is easily accessible from the nearby city of Ayia Napa or Protaras. – Tripadvisor

    Great to walk or visit with the car
    We combined the car with some walking and spent a pleasant day exploring the Cape. There is an information centre with cafe at the start, with some very helpful staff who will give you a map and leaflets explaining flora and fauna. The scenery is lovely and the paths not hard, but a bit rough so good shoes are required. We drove out as far as we could, the lighthouse is not reachable as the area at the end is restricted but there are plenty of parking spots and we counted at least 3 ice cream and snack vans at various sites. Worth a visit if you like walking.

    Amazing view, legally not allowed to dive here.
    The sea caves near Cape Greco are beautiful, as you can see in the photo. There were many colourful fish swimming around, plus a few turtles. The sea is very clean. However, there is a big sign when you approach the cliff, that has writing in about 5 different languages, that it is illegal to dive because of the frail rocks material that may crumble. Indeed, some people have got injured falling off, so although there quite a few cliff divers active there, please be careful. The best way to swim there is by entering the bay with a boat. There are some tourist boats leaving almost every day from Ayia Napa docklands.

    The most beautiful place...
    Beautiful! Calm waters and best to visit early in the morning or in the evening when it is quiet, when nobody is around. The children went in for a swim and snorkel and loved it too. Its such a shame that people leave their rubbish on the rocks, we cleared plasters, face masks etc that were just left laying around. The beauty in this place is unreal, so peaceful. A must visit when in Cyprus.

    Recommended Louis snack van Cape Greco
    We have been going to Ayia Nappa area for the last 10 years and it’s a must to visit here ... even if we are not wandering around the nature park. Off the main road on the way from Knossos Bay travel to the corner where the visitor centre is located here you will see the van parked up along with seating. You can park the car easily here. Per said first time we visited we though wow the sandwiches was ace ... extremely good value and mega filling tasty. Louis the chap who runs it very friendly helpful. I can recommend one sandwich will take the feeling of wanting to eat anything for the rest of the day. If your on the bus 201-2-3 it stops by the sandwich van. On a plus note the Cypriot taxi drivers etc stop and eat here , and has I’ve always said if the locals use it ... well it must be good. !!

    Check exactly what and where to see there
    Cape Greco is a headland in the southeastern part of the island of Cyprus. It is also the easternmost point of both the European Union. Just check exactly what to see there as area is quite big. Not everything is accessible, this part with the Lighthouse in Cape Greco is probably some military area. Not possible to go there.

    Words are not Enough
    If you are reasonably fit, have little difficulty walking and have sturdy walking shoes plus of course enjoy the outdoors and peace &!tranquility, then Cape Greco is the place to go. An absolute pleasure to walk across with all the owners you could wish for in one area. The Sea gently creating more erosion wonders, wildlife in abundance together with Mother Nature watching over the whole area this attraction is almost beyond words and only a visit can do it justice. A walk across the park takes time but what better way to spend that time.

    Where to jump?
    We wanted to visit the caves and jump from the famous spot, however it was more difficult to find than anticipated. After several attempts, we finally found it (by chance). No signage that helps you to find it, and the guys in the ice cream trucks have no idea.. So if you need help the GPS is (34.9682301,34.0548837) If you are without gps, take the first right into the cape Greco national park when driving from Agia Napa, then take the first right again down to the “sea caves”. Do not drive out till the end of the national park (towards the antennas), not so much to see there. Hope this helps! The spot is great, the water is beautiful and the jump is 10-12 metres. Do not forget to check out the cave under the mountain - follow the track down to where people swim from.

    Don't miss the sea caves! Impressive!!
    You can reach the cave area by car (or on foot). When you enter the Cavo Greco Natural Reserve (there are sign posts for a right turn on the road from Ayia Napa to Protaras), you follow an asphalt road and approx 500m further down you see a tree standing on its own in a field on your right hand side. Take a right turn into the earth road that is close to that tree. There is a sign pointing to the sea caves. Follow the earth road and soon you will see the sea and other cars so you will know where to stop!! Although i am from cyprus i only discovered this spot 2 years ago - previously i would see pictures of it but didnt know where it was! It just takes your breath away!! The rocks in this area have originally been under water (thousands of years ago) and they came to the surface probably after earthquakes etc. The sea caves have been formed under water but you get the impression that they have been carved by a very skillful sculptor. The spot is called 'the palaces' by the locals as the cave formations, remind of ancient palaces! Natural beauty at its best!! The climb up to the top of cape greco is also worth it. Not very difficult as not very steep and the views from there are lovely. There are several other hiking trails within the park that are signposted and take in all the points of interest. There is also 4 kilometres of bicycle track. The park has something different to offer, in each season. Hiking is better in the spring when its not too hot and the place is also full of wild flowers of various colours. Cypriot Natural Beauty at its best. Definetely recommened if you are a nature lover like me!!!
    Thank you for your comments, we hope to see you again in Ayia Napa

If you going to Cyprus, you do not want to miss going here. And here are some tips

- its on the Cavo Greko road, but not Cape Greko. so you have to lookout for a sign which says 'caves' earlier. There is no sign currently to show you where to make the turn. So map it earlier on google maps
- when you reach there, you can jump of the cliff. It is around 6-7 mts deep and absolutely safe!. There are concrete patches which helps you locate from where to jump
- The treasure picture you want to take is actually not visible from where you stand, you have to climb down to the left of the cliff (its safe) to get a breathtaking view

Enjoy and make a point to thank me for these tips. You wont regret it! :)
